there was no printing press in mediaeval periods so this scribe copied manuscripts by hand explain it |
|
Answer» Answer: Scribes used to COPY the manuscripts by hand as there were no PRINTING presses during the medieval period. Explanation: Lack of printing press during the medieval period had become a great challenge for scribes as they wanted to scribe everything by hand. Another big challenge in this case is the handwriting of a scholar. Most of them had a wired handwriting. Scribes used to copy the original manuscripts of the scholars by just guessing the words from that illegible MANUSCRIPT. How it BOTHERED historians? For the historians, the hand written copy of scribes had turned out to be a great challenge. Every time, a historian who has involved in digging out the old facts was INSISTED to read every hand written manuscripts to find which the original copy was.

Comparitive study of harappan and Mesopotamian civilization |
|
Answer» Answer: Mesopotamian civilization is mostly located in Iraq. It forms a crescent shape and so is called “the fertile crescent”. Mesopotamia ENCOMPASSES the land between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, both of which have their headwaters in the Armenian Highlands. Both rivers are fed by numerous tributaries, and the entire river system DRAINS a VAST mountainous region. Overland routes in Mesopotamia usually follow the Euphrates because the banks of the Tigris are frequently steep and difficult. The climate of the region is semi-arid with a vast desert expanse in the north which gives way to a 15,000 square kilometres (5,800 sq mi) region of marshes, lagoons, mud flats, and reed banks in the south. In the extreme south, the Euphrates and the Tigris unite and empty into the Persian Gulf. There were three major problems of the geography which are unpredictable floods/dry summers, no natural barriers for protection as the small villages were in the open plains which were defenceless, & lastly there were limited natural resources like metal, wood and stone. But for this they found a excellent solution which is building of irrigation ditches, city walls with mud bricks, and TRADE of resources which couldn’t be found there respectively.
The Indus Valley Civilization encompassed most of Pakistan and parts of south-western India, and Afghanistan, extending from Pakistani Baluchistan in the west to Uttar Pradesh in the east, north-eastern Afghanistan to the north and Maharashtra to the south. It had rich agricultural lands which were surrounded by highlands, desert, and ocean. The climate was pleasant and cool; also it was ideal for farming DUE to the monsoon rains. |

Discuss the various programmes of the non cooperation movement. |
|
Answer» Answer: Noncooperation movement, unsuccessful attempt in 1920–22, organized by Mohandas (Mahatma) GANDHI, to induce the British government of India to grant self-government, or swaraj, to India. It was one of Gandhi’s FIRST organized ACTS of large-scale civil disobedience (satyagraha). The movement arose from the widespread outcry in India over the massacre at Amritsar in April 1919, when the British-led troops killed several hundred INDIANS. That anger was LATER compounded by indignation at the government’s alleged failure to take adequate action against those responsible, notably Gen. Reginald Edward Harry Dyer, who had commanded the troops involved in the massacre. Gandhi strengthened the movement by supporting (on nonviolent terms) the contemporaneous Muslim campaign against the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire after World War I. |

A list of territories under direct and indirect control of British Indian in 1857 |
|
Answer» The British-administered territories in India were expanded in three successive waves. The FIRST wave (A.D. 1757-66) brought under [DIRECT] British rule Bengal, BIHAR, and the Northern Circars along the north-west shore of the Bay of Bengal; the second (A.D. 1790-1818) brought the Carnatic, the Upper Ganges Basin, and the Western Deccan; the third (A.D. 1843-9) brought the Indus Basin. In the course of this expansion, all other parts of India were lassoed in an encircling belt of British-administered territories and were reduced to the STATUS of client states; and, under Lord Dalhousie’s régime, the annexations of the client states of Satára in A.D. 1848, Jhansi in 1853, Nagpur in 1854, and Oudh in 1856 seemed to portend a rapid extension of direct British rule over the whole of the rest of the peninsula. On the other hand, after the mutiny of the Indian units in the British East India Company’s Army in A.D. 1857-8, it became the general policy of the British Government of India to keep the surviving client states intact; and, though this NEW rule was not invariably observed, nevertheless the annexation of the Kingdom of Oudh, which had been reminiscent of the Roman Emperor Tiberius’s annexation of the Kingdom of Cappadocia, was, after all, not followed up by the progressive extinction, more Romano, of the remaining Indian client states. Dalhousie, in what is now the state of Himachal Pradesh, was established in 1854 by the East India Company as a summer retreat for its troops and bureaucrats. A Study of History, Vol VII, OUP, 1954 |

What was meant by the tradition of eight paradises used in construction of humayun's tomb ? |
Answer» HEY MATE HERE IS THE ANSWERWell, the tomb was constructed sometime between about 1568 and 1571. And it wasn’t constructed immediately because the Mughal EMPIRE wasn’t really an empire. It was a series of very unconsolidated areas that Akbar had to really shape up, and gel into a coherent state. So he was very preoccupied with military enterprise. That was probably one reason for the delay. We don’t really know exactly who constructed it. Humayun’s senior wife Haji Begum is often credited with the construction. She probably had a role. We don’t have any sources that really tell us this, but since the tomb was very likely intended as a dynastic mausoleum for the Mughals, it probably had Akbar’s hand in it very heavily. We know that he hired ARCHITECTS from Bukhara, today in Uzbekistan, that would have been part of the Timurid HOMELAND. The Mughals are really Timurids. They are an extension of the great Timurid dynasty. These architects were a father and son team who were trained in both landscape architecture and building architecture. Probably getting these two gentlemen from Uzbekistan took some time. And of COURSE the tomb is enormous so that would take a long time to build. And it was unique at that time in the Indian subcontinent. So again that would probably explain some of the reasons in the delay in building. HOPE IT MAY HELP ✔ ✔THANK YOU ❤ ❤ |

Comparative study about harappan and mesopotamian civilization |
|
Answer» Explanation: The heart of the HISTORY of India or the first human life of Indian subcontinent, the Great Indus valley civilisation. It is also known as “The Harrapan civilisation.” It was spreaded across parts of India as well as large part of Pakistan. The name Indus valley comes from its main river in its river system which is the Indus River. It was a civilisation of the Bronze Age and it dated from 3000 BC – 1500 BC. It was one the 1st civilisations taking place in the world history. The people of Indus valley civilization were extremely peaceful and advanced in farming. They were also good in the field of trade. They traded with the Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilization. The land of Ziggurats or the Mesopotamian civilization was known for its complex government structures. The area of it was just like in the shape of a crescent and so was also called “the ancient fertile crescent area”. It was situated between the two fertile rivers- Tigris and Euphrates. It was in existence from 3500-1800 BC. These people were hot-minded and used to fight which caused often wars between people, rulers and other countries. Due to these wars the civilization declined. Main content:- Geography:-
Mesopotamian civilization is mostly located in Iraq. It forms a crescent shape and so is called “the fertile crescent”. Mesopotamia encompasses the land between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, both of which have their headwaters in the Armenian Highlands. Both rivers are fed by numerous tributaries, and the entire river system drains a vast mountainous region. Overland routes in Mesopotamia usually follow the Euphrates because the banks of the Tigris are frequently steep and difficult. The climate of the region is semi-arid with a vast desert expanse in the north which gives way to a 15,000 square kilometres (5,800 sq mi) region of marshes, LAGOONS, mud flats, and reed banks in the south. In the extreme south, the Euphrates and the Tigris unite and empty into the Persian Gulf. There were three major problems of the geography which are unpredictable floods/dry summers, no natural barriers for protection as the small villages were in the open plains which were defenceless, & lastly there were limited natural resources like metal, WOOD and stone. But for this they found a excellent solution which is building of irrigation ditches, city walls with mud bricks, and trade of resources which couldn’t be found there RESPECTIVELY.
The Indus Valley Civilization encompassed most of Pakistan and parts of south-western India, and Afghanistan, extending from Pakistani Baluchistan in the west to Uttar Pradesh in the east, north-eastern Afghanistan to the north and Maharashtra to the south. It had rich agricultural lands which were surrounded by highlands, desert, and ocean. The climate was pleasant and cool; also it was ideal for farming due to the monsoon rains.
weapons:-
Indus valley civilization was a peaceful civilization. The people were more attached to agriculture and trading and thus usage of weapons was found very less. Other than weapons there are many agricultural tools found such as the plough, etc. The weapons which could be found are sword, spears, daggers, saw, bow and arrow, etc. Many of these were made up of bronze.
The Mesopotamians were advanced in the science of making tools and weapons. The Sumerians were expert in making unique and advanced tools and weaponry which helped them to last long. Sumerians developed the wheel to use it in the farm as well as in the wars. The geography of this civilization is such that the water can’t reach every part of the civilization. Thus they developed efficient water transporting system which could be evident through the “Hanging Gardens of Babylon.” Moving towards weaponry they used usually bronze for it. The main weapons are Bow and arrow, spears, battle axes, etc. They also had war chariots which would help them to move FAST for attack. They used several other equipments such as the Javelins, etc. For defence they used to have helmets and armours. |

Answer» Answer: Though there have been professional women writers for centuries, women’s writing tended towards specific GENRES – travel, health, fiction and histories – and this work received comparatively little ATTENTION from both MEN and women. Much research by feminist presses and on the part of feminist historians and writers went into unearthing many lost and forgotten women writers from the PAST. By the mid- to late 20th century, with increased education and higher STANDARDS of living, a broader spectrum of women’s voices began to be heard. Eg- Jane austen, George Eliot. |

How was WWI a blessing in disguise for the Indian industrialist? |
|
Answer» Explanation: WORLD War I was a boon to Indian industies. the period saw a rapid increase in Indian industrial growth because- 1. most industrial goods production was set up England. India produced raw material which was transported to England to be used in factories. With advent of WWI, British factories and mills got busy with making weapons, war supplies etc to meet demands of the war. Thus for production of goods and MEETING the market demands, factories were set up in India as prior to WWI there was not much need of them here. 2. As the IMPORTS from mills in Britain declined due to world war, the huge demand of them COULD not be met and so the period saw increase in industrial growth in India. 3. As the world war progressed the demand for army supplies increased. British factories alone could not keep up with the army needs like uniforms, jute bags, boots, weapons etc and more factories were set up in India for their production. 4. transportation became faster and cheaper with setting up of new railway lines and roads and goods could now be transported to remote places which were not easily . |

It completely eliminated the BARGAINING power of the weavers who now could not sell their cloth to other traders in return for a better deal. 6. They now had to DEVOTE full time for weaving and engaged their family members also into it to meet growing demands of the company. |
